or Auckland accommodation? Auckland is the governing city and capital of the province of Auckland in the country of New Zealand. It is located in the North Island of the country. It is also the most populous city in the entire country with approximately 438,000 inhabitants. The city has been said to be the fourth best city to live in the world. It is also on the list of the Alpha World City by the World Cities Study Groups.

The first settlers of Auckland were the local Maori Tribes who found the land to be of value due to the richness and fertility of its soil. However, only a few of these tribes were left when the colonization of Europeans in the area began. This was due to local intertribal warfare that sprung up during the non-colonial period. Today, Auckland locals are mostly of European descent with a mix of Asian and aboriginal traditions.

The entire Auckland Region is said to be one of the most popular tourist sites in the country. Auckland has been nicknamed lately as the ‘city of sail’, which is primarily due to the fact that the location of the city has boosted the locals’ love for the sea. The area is also a famous volcano land, as it is straddling the Auckland Volcanic Field with approximately 50 volcanoes. Some of the highlights in the area are the Rangitoto Island, Auckland Civic Center, Harbour Bridge, Auckland Town Hall, Auckland War Memorial Museum, Aotea Square, Britomart Transport Centre, Eden Park, Karangahape Road, Kelly Tarlton’s Antarctic Encounter & Underwater World and Auckland Domain.
